Onderhoudsinstructies
Diospyros nigra thrives in warm, tropical climates with high humidity. It requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth and should be kept in temperatures around 25°C. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently wet. The plant benefits from a balanced fertilizer during the growing season.Oogst
Diospyros nigra, commonly known as the black sapote, is typically harvested when the fruit is fully mature and the skin turns from green to a dark olive or black color. The fruit should be soft to the touch, indicating ripeness. Harvesting is usually done by hand, using pruning shears or by gently twisting the fruit off the tree. It is important to handle the fruit carefully to avoid bruising. The best time to harvest is during the dry season to prevent fungal infections. After harvesting, the fruit should be allowed to ripen further at room temperature until it reaches a custard-like consistency.Bodem
The Black Sapote prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture. It thrives in soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter to support its nutrient needs.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to support its growth and fruit production.Verpotten
Repot young plants every 2-3 years to provide fresh soil and more space for root growth. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting is best done in the early spring before the growing season begins.Voortplanting
Diospyros nigra can be propagated through seeds or grafting. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining seed mix and kept moist until germination. Grafting is typically done to ensure the quality and characteristics of the fruit.Snoeien
Prune the Black Sapote to maintain its shape and remove any dead or diseased branches. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Regular pruning helps improve air circulation and light penetration within the canopy.Toxiciteit
Diospyros nigra is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. The fruit is edible and enjoyed by many for its unique flavor and texture.Aanvullend
